so after saying that as a way to fend off all attacks on their otherwise feckless foreign policy, they now have the assassination of an ambassador, first time in 30 years, happening within a week and they have to find a cover story. i'm not saying there was a deliberate conspiracy from day one, but as this story unfolded, they saw a way to make this nonpolitical. one other context you got to remember, bill, that for the first three days after the benghazi attack, the media were concentrated exclusively on trashing mitt romney for a statement he made on september 11 about the cairo demonstration and the craven statement issued by our embassy in cairo as it was developing. so it would have been very logical for someone in the white house to say, look, the media is high on the trail of mitt romney. they're not interested in the real story. it is a perfect way for them to bash romney as they had on everything else. we can dependent away with this. let's go with the video story rather than that it was a terrorist attack. >> bill: all right. now, it's troubling -- if that's true, is what cha

that's a whole foreign policy package, because you have to do the state department, cia, defense, national security, u.n. ambassador depending on what moves he makes. it's a whole puzzle he has to fill out all the pieces. the national security aadviser is the only one that does not require senate confirmation. >> it feels kind of like it, and yachlt when you look at it politically it feels like the yes susan rice and no susan rice for state is the first domino that if you go with her, then maybe john kerry for defense. there's a lot of moving parts, so he has to make the susan rice decision first. all the other decisions frankly will be easier after that one. >> is that decision is related to a lot of other things. it basically is how much of a fight do you want to have right now with senate republicans? >> to not go off the fiscal cliff. >> and whether you can back down after that you have been so aaggressive against you. stay tuned. that does it for this edition of "andrea mitchell reports." follow the show online. tamron has as a look at what's next on "news nation." >> great to see you
